• Self-identity and personality traits across cultures, including variety and novelty seeking, consumer innovativeness and opinion leadership
• Consumer’s perceptions of global brands and brand personality across-cultures
• Customer engagement behaviours, including complaining and co-creation across cultures
• Satisfaction and word of mouth across cultures
• Country of origin effects and ethnocentrism
• Methodological issues in cross-cultural consumer research
